2018 Volkswagen Polo 1.0L Petrol · WF18 ABO

The vehicle's recent MOT history shows a pattern of passing after initial failures, suggesting a trend of resolving immediate defects to meet minimum standards. The most recent test on 10 July 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following a failure on the same date. This pattern of failing and then passing on the same day indicates that specific issues were identified and rectified immediately to secure the certificate. The recorded mileage of 92,470 miles is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 11,559 miles per year. The MOT records provided cover a three-year period from July 2023 to July 2025. There are no significant gaps in the annual testing cycle, as tests were conducted in July 2023, July 2024, and July 2025. Because the failure records for 13 July 2024 and 10 July 2025 do not specify the exact nature of the defects, a physical inspection is necessary to identify what required rectification. A buyer should focus on the components typically associated with sudden failures, such as lighting, braking efficiency, or tyre condition. While the most recent certificate is clean, the repeated failures suggest that certain components require attention shortly before the annual test. The absence of advisories in the recent history means there is no recorded data regarding gradual wear on suspension bushes, brake discs, or structural corrosion. An inspection should verify the current state of these consumables to ensure that no minor issues are progressing toward a future failure.
